TGrains3 | SuperCollider 3.13.0 Help

Description

Triggers generate grains from a buffer. Each grain has a user-defined rise/decay shape and is panned between two channels of multiple outputs.

Class Methods

.ar

Arguments:

numChannels	number of output channels.
trigger	at each trigger, the following arguments are sampled and used as the arguments of a new grain. A trigger occurs when a signal changes from <= 0 to > 0. If the trigger is audio rate then the grains will start with sample accuracy.
bufnum	the index of the buffer to use. It must be a one channel (mono) buffer.
rate	1.0 is normal, 2.0 is one octave up, 0.5 is one octave down. -1.0 is backwards normal rate ... etc. Unlike PlayBuf, the rate is multiplied by BufRate, so you needn't do that yourself.
centerPos	the position in the buffer in seconds at which the grain envelope will reach maximum amplitude.
dur	duration of the grain in seconds.
pan	determines where to pan the output. If numChannels = 1, the pan argument is ignored. If numChannels = 2, panning is similar to Pan2. If numChannels > 2, panning is the same as PanAz.
amp	amplitude of the grain.
att	attack time of grain in seconds.
dec	decay time of grain in seconds.
window	bufnum of rise/decay shape.
interp	1, 2, or 4. Determines whether the grain uses (1) no interpolation, (2) linear interpolation, or (4) cubic interpolation.

Examples

s.sendMsg(\b_allocRead, 10, "sounds/a11wlk01.wav");
c=Buffer.alloc(s, s.sampleRate * 0.2, 1)
// buffer for rise/decay shape - multiple of sr helps prevent clicks, i think.

(
var y, h;
y=Signal.hanningWindow(s.sampleRate * 0.4); // twice the size of our buffer, 'cause we only use 1/2
h=Array.fill(s.sampleRate * 0.2, {|i| y[i]});
c.loadCollection(h);
)

(
{
    var b = 10, trate, dur, clk;
    trate = MouseY.kr(2,200,1);
    dur = 4 / trate;
    clk = Dust.kr(trate);
    TGrains3.ar(2, clk, 10, 1.0, LFNoise2.kr(0.5).range(0, BufDur.kr(b)) + TRand.kr(0, 0.02, clk), dur, 0, 0.1, MouseX.kr(0.003, 0.01), 0.007, c.bufnum, 4);
}.play;
)

(
var y, h;
y=Signal.hammingWindow(s.sampleRate * 0.4);
h=Array.fill(s.sampleRate * 0.2, {|i| y[i]});
c.loadCollection(h);
)

(
{
    var b = 10, trate, dur, clk, pos, pan;
    trate = MouseY.kr(8,220,1);
    dur = 2/trate;
    clk = Impulse.kr(trate);
    pos = MouseX.kr(0, BufDur.kr(b)) + TRand.kr(0, 0.02, clk);
    pan = WhiteNoise.kr(0.6);
    TGrains3.ar(2, clk, b, 1, pos, dur, pan, 0.1, dur*0.1, dur*0.3, c.bufnum, 4);
}.play;
)
